I'm in Illinois, helping my parents integrate their inherited antique furniture into our little cape-cod family home. Right now, I'm back in my old bedroom. My cat is with me, looking up at the posters of Garfield, Doctor Who and some random ballerinas and kittens still thumbtacked to the slanted ceiling. I wonder how long it will take me and my Mom to start driving each other nuts. I wonder if, after two years, I remember how to work a car.
